  • profile pic @Jen: The sandbags from hardware stores vary. They're stored outside, so they tend to be wet (making them weigh more) unless they're dry kiln sand. The sandbag I got from B&Q cost less than £2 and weighed 22.4Kg wet (so I assume it was a 20Kg bag), and the dry kiln one weighs 25Kg. So what I did was took the sand out, and put it into individual zip-lock freezer bags weighing 2Kg each. Put the freezer bags into a heavy-duty bin bag, and then into a hessian bag to give it durability.
